you know what... I think it is a great idea with lots of potential. Try focusing on the animals and have the ark blurred in the backgroud. I like the colors and the lighting is not that bad. It is really cute though.
Ooo, nice play with DOF .
Reminds me of how I played with my (then) almost still brandnew 350D on New Year's Eve 2005 with the board game we had set up on the table. I then also tried out all my apertures and focus points, such fun!
Nice little set up here ... but hey, funny: like his4ever, also I immediately thought: now what would that look like if focus was shifted on the animals, leaving the ark blurred .
